Home Gown Tomatoes

     My neighbor mowed down and killed all my volunteer tomato plants so I'm forced to try and grow some by work again. I'm not mad at my neighbor. She said she and her family didn't eat them.
     Anyway, I went to she seed & feed store and bought 3 or 4 different varieties of seedlings as well as another 3 or 4 of seeds. I'm just gonna let em go do their thing. If they wanna cross pollinate and make a whole new hybrid "Merlin's Mississippi Maters" that's fine and dandy with me.

     All the corn seed I can find are hybrid varieties. Not surprising as corn is actually one of the oldest hybrid crops known to mankind. I got 1 pack each of one early variety and one of a later breed for my corn patch. As with the tomatoes, I'll let them do whatever God wants them to do.
     My corn seed went into the ground a couple of weeks ago. My assorted bean seed went in the other day as the corn seedlings were a few inches tall.  As with the corn and tomatoes, they are free to make whatever bean grows best for me. Once the beans are sprouted I'll stab in a few seeds of green and yellow zucchini squash.
     The corn gives the beans something to climb on and the squash shades out the weeds. The American Indians used this technique for ages before Columbus arrived so it is a proven method.
